Think you’ve got it together? Well, you might want to take a look at this before you start congratulating yourself on being productive and having your life in order. We transcribed this page of Benjamin Franklin’s daily schedule from 1776. Just look at all the stuff the famous inventor and Founding Father managed to get done in a single day!
June 16, 1776:
2:00 AM: Wake up early, as is the Benjamin Franklin way.
2:00 AM-2:15 AM: Invent shower.
2:15 AM-2:30 AM: Shower.
2:30 AM-3:00 AM: Wake up the fair city of Philadelphia by wheeling a cannon out into the street and firing it loudly over and over again so that all the good citizens of this glorious city may get an early start on their morning’s work.
3:00 AM-3:15 AM: Invent breakfast.
3:15 AM-3:30 AM: Eat a hearty breakfast consisting of a herring skeleton and a wooden engraving of a bee.
3:30 AM-4:00 AM: Go to work at the printing press.
4:00 AM-5:00 AM: Print thousands of large pieces of paper with the word “INDUSTRIOUS!” written upon them and distribute them all about the streets of Philadelphia, so as to inspire the good citizens of this glorious city to always be industrious and efficient.
5:00 AM-5:30 AM: Travel from Philadelphia to Paris.
5:30 AM-6:00 AM: Rally French support for our American Revolution by writing “England” on a snake and releasing it into the streets of Paris, thus demonstrating through metaphor the perfidious nature of King George.
